I'm with Ian.
Maybe Ian and I don't understand the question. The other answers seem
so complicated.
Brandon, Replace Ian's example "Y.PACKET.ID" with whatever is thereal
name in DICT X.INFO pointing to what you describa ase Y.INFO's key
exists as a "foreign key" somewhere in X.INFO.
Give Ian's code a try and see if it gives you what you want.
You don't even need to do the SAVE.LIST & GET.LIST. That's just so you
can have the list for later use or examination.

At least on Unidata you can put the foreign key in the select statement, and
that's the id that will be used:
#SELECT X WITH STATUS = "ccc" Y.PACKET.ID
#SAVE.LIST L1
#GET.LIST L1
#LIST Y
If you put two atb names in the select, they are interleaved in the resulting
saved list, which can be a quick way to export some data...

Subject: [U2] Select from one file with save-list from another file
Hello!
UniVerse 10.1, HP/UX, Pick.
Is there a way I can build a save-list from a selection from one file X.INFO (where the
record ID is an 8 digit number) and use that list to select from file Y.INFO (where that
8 digit number is not the record ID but does exist as a "foreign key" elsewhere
in the file). In SQL this would be considered a join and would look something like this:
select *
from X.INFO, Y.INFO
where X.INFO.packet.id=Y.INFO.packet.id
and X.INFO.status='ccc';
I can run this in TCL and have it return the results I want but can't build a
save-list from it because I don't know the UniVerse/SQL syntax to do so.
So to summarize, is there a way to use a save-list built from X.INFO to make
another save-list comprised of the record ID's from Y.INFO?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
